Todd Caldwell

THE NEW RECORD

Todd Caldwell’s latest project emerges from a shared love for the jazz organ trio. The resulting collaboration of Caldwell and New York guitarist and composer Chris Parker, the album takes shape as a dark, moody exploration that expands the jazz organ trio sound. After a series of local gigs honing these new songs, Todd and Chris headed to the studio, bringing in the accomplished drummer Josh Dion (Paris Monster, John Scofield) to complete the trio.

Recorded in one day at Atomic Sound in Red Hook, Brooklyn, the resulting album is a sonic experience that pulls listeners into an immersive, intimate world. With Josh Dion's impeccable sensitivity and groove paired with Chris Parker’s distinct voice on guitar, the trio creates a unique texture in today’s jazz landscape—one that balances complexity with an understated emotional depth and a reverence to melody. Caldwell’s Hammond organ fills the space with a voice both earthy and ethereal, weaving effortlessly between harmony and rhythm.

Patrick Bradley

Born: April 27

Patrick Bradley - Exhale Recording artists aspire toward a time in their career when their music and the process by which it is realized become as natural as the ordained rushing of a sparkling mountain spring. Keyboardist/Composer Patrick Bradley has arrived at that rarefied space with his 5th album…Exhale (releasing January 15, 2021 via the Patricks Song Factory label).
